Anal sphincter function in rectal intussusception and high and low “take‐off” external rectal prolapse—A prospective observational study
Increasing rectal prolapse grade is associated with reduced anal sphincter function at rest indicating internal anal sphincter dysfunction. Physiological differences exist between high and low take-off ERP with sphincter function in the former similar to that seen in grade IV RI.
